This conference was held in the spring 2013 in Colorado. It complements the two previous Bible conferences held in Arkansas and Northern Virginia.
In addition to being styled "an apostle to the Gentiles" (Rom 11:13), Paul could also be called the apostle of the Mystery. This "mystery" contained new revelation intended for a new people—the Church—living in a new age or dispensation of God’s plan.
"now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began, but now made manifest, and by the prophetic scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith …" Rom 16:25–26

Taking the Enigma Out of Paul’s Mystery – Colorado 2013

Gene Cunningham - November 28, 2003

Joshua # 05 --Jos 5:13-15, Jos 6:1-5, Jos 14:1-15

Joshua # 05 --Jos 5:13-15, Jos 6:1-5, Jos 14:1-15

Breaking strongholds. Illustration is Song of Solomon (Son 2:15) "catch the foxes that spoil the vines". The anology is to her shepherd lover. We need to develop the will to win (2Co 10:1-6). Corinthians have adopted false teachings. Our weapons are spiritual (Eph 6:12, Rom 6:13, Rom 13:12). Weapons are for (1) Pulling down strongholds (2Co 10:4); (2) Casting down arguments (2Co 4:5); (3) Bringing everything into captivity of Christ (2Co 4:5). The lie of this world is that we can make ourselves acceptable, are self sufficient, or that we can improve ourselves. This is a cooperative action of spiritual surrender to the Spirit and Word of God. We must be ready to fight (2Co 10:6, 1Co 1:14). Edification is "other-oriented" thinking. We must "avenge disobedience". Joshua meets the "captain of army of the Lord", an falls on his face (Jos 5:13-15). The children of Israel were part of the Lord's army. Joshua had to make a decision. We too must chose who we will serve (Jos 24:15).  Joshua gets commands similar to before (Jos 6:1-5, Deu 7:1-6). Joshua cut the land in two and comes back to Gath, Gaza, Ashdod and some of the giants were left (Jos 11:22). Once obedience was established, Joshua let none of the enemies remain (Jos 10:22, Jos 10:30, Jos 10:37, Jos 10:39-40, Jos 11:8, Jos 11:12). God promises to defeat the enemy (Jos 13:1-6). The people didn't execute the plan completely (Jos 13:13, Jos 17:12-13, Jos 18:3). At the age of 85, Caleb asked for the privilege of taking the hardest enemy (Jos 14:1-15). Though Paul taught them differently, Corinthians compromised with the enemy by accepting Greek philosophies of stoicism, asceticism, epicureanism (1Co 6:12-20, Act 17:18, 1Co 7:1)
